I got some messages from BugZilla that indicate the cause of the Win7-64 SIP crash was found. It sounds like an easy quick workaround is to replace the version of libglib-2.0-0.dll with a newer one. Apparently there is a version called 2.18 that is shipped with the Win32 version of WS. The Win64 installer ships with 2.18. The 2.20 glib checks for a zero pointer and prevents the crash according to the note. The 2.18 version does not.

This is causing me a lot of pain. Can someone direct me to the right version of libglib-2.0-0.dll? Presumably I can just drop this into the WS directory and the crash will go away.

Hi,

I wouldn't be so sure about that, because Wireshark 1.2.4 isn't build against GLib 2.20. According to https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=4023#c14 your fix is in the 1.2.5pre1 download.

Thanks,
Jaap
